And you know the language is still different compared to present day English.

[(Anonymous)]

The OP specifically called for "Modern" not present usage. My point stand.

[(Anonymous)]

early modern, surely. I'm a little rusty on the classifications but from what I remember of old and middle english, shakespeare seems closer to ME than to present day BE...

[(Anonymous)]

It is still on this side of the language divide. It is modern english no matter how you slice it. Its differences are due to shifting pop culture references not because of the language itself changing.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure Middle English is largely unintelligible to speakers of contemporary English - on the level of a whole different language - whereas Shakespeare's English is still obviously English, even if his turns of phrase are archaic.

Sure, like I said, I don't exactly remember the classifications. I'm from a German speaking background and learned the basics of old and middle english for about a year at university but it's been a while. To me, it was always kinda intelligible because the grammar of OE and ME is still closer to modern german. And so is now-extinct grammar like "thou hast". So I'm probably just blending it all together in my head...

(Fun anecdote from that lecture: try asking german speakers about the word for the female fox. The modern word sounds like "to wank" and the pronunciation before the softening of "v" soins like "to shoot up heroin".)

No, not even remotely.
